Howdy.
Pygame download page claims "python2.5.4 is the best python on windows at the moment". This has been the status since I began with Python and Pygame about 1.5 years ago. While I appreciate suggestions that save me time and agony, it is my nature to always ask why. If the doc says take this pill, it will save your life--I gotta ask! Call it a compulsion.
Why should I prefer Python 2.5.4 on Windows?
Will Python 2.6 ever be crowned king? What factors are holding it back?
Will Python 3 ever be crowned king? What factors are holding it back?
I'm mostly interested in the opinions of the people who assess such things at a technology-readiness level, such as the Pygame maintainers and people who follow bug management and other objective indicators. Not particularly interested "Gumm's personal experience is it works okay" responses. :)
Thanks in advance.
